Magento 2 - Getting user role

Question

I would like to get the Role of the user logged in.

I'm trying to use \vendor\magento\module-authorization\Model\Role.php, but the same happens, all empty.

What am I doing wrong here? Am I calling the right classes? Is there a better way to do it?

Answer 1

You can do this using below code.

public function __construct(\Magento\User\Model\UserFactory $userFactory)
{
    $this->userFactory = $userFactory;
}

public function getAdminRole()
{
 $roleName = $this->userFactory->create()->getRole()->getRoleName();
}

Let me know if you need further help.
